so if you're like a lot of people who follow the news, general david petraeus's resignation, and admitted that he cheated on his wife was a total shock. the general was known for demanding the highest standards for himself and his soldiers.
5:21 pm
first, the obvious question, he had it all, a great family and career, why risk everything? he had to know he would get caught eventually, right? >> no, studies show that when men get a huge increase with testosterone, that comes from winning the super bowl, or war even, can raise testosterone levels, then men tend to rationalize cheating better. the higher testosterone means higher sexual arouseal, and then their thinking starts to get a little blurred about what the subseque consequences may be. >> so if we're built that way, are we fighting the way we're built? >> absolutely not, you know, thankfully, don, most men -- have women in their culture, too, and women have a whole

5:29 pm
biographer, paula broadwell, was sending harassing e-mails to another woman. tom, it is good to see you. wish it was a better story that we were talking about. but why would the fbi investigate the cia e-mails? why is this something the agency would handle internally? >> because the fbi has jurisdiction if someone uses the internet to threaten another person. so that is where the investigation began. it was not against director petraeus. it was because threats were being received over the internet. and since they're coming into someone working at cia headquarters, and particularly in the executive area, that prompted the fbi to go ahead and investigate the threat. >> okay, so the big concern here, then, that an outsider could have access, quite simply, to sensitive information and intelligence? >> well, that is the concern when it starts. but when you look into that, in the cia or fbi headquarters or
5:30 pm
any of the intel agencies, often you have dual computer systems so that you can receive outside e-mails because someone might send a complaint over the public internet service providers. and then of course, you have the classified e-mail systems internally, and they're completely separate. but the fact that somebody is receiving a threat at that level, they have to investigate and look at the nature of the threat and look at the person making the threats and start to subpoena that person's records to see if they're threatening other officials or if there is more to the story, who they're connected with. during that subsequent part of of the investigation, that is where they determined the connection between the other woman and general petraeus. >> is there anyone here at risk of criminal prosecution? >> from what i'm hearing, no, that the fbi investigation was winding down. they had determined that there had not been a security breach. and that there had been no indication of a criminal violation on the part of director petraeus, or someone
5:31 pm
from his staff. and basically, that it was an administrative matter in terms of whether he is using government computers, government-owned computers to send e-mails and receive e-mails, or you know, the nature of that. but that no, there was going to be no prosecution. >> okay, can we talk a little bit more about -- i asked you why one agency would be investigated over the other. but what are the relationships like between the cia and the fbi? do they work well together? >> yes, they do work well together, and the fbi, it is going to be common if there is investigations, whether somebody is working at the pentagon or the white house, they're going to investigate. if you look back over the last 20 years, for example, you see the fbi heavily involved in very controversial investigations, whether it was allegations, whether it was travel-gate during the clinton administration, or investigations -- for instance, the leaking of the identity of
5:32 pm
valerie plame during the push administration. you have the fbi conducting these sensitive investigations, whether it is corruption allegations or threats or other things, it is very common. >> tom, there is -- sometimes there is chest thumping going on between agencies, with local officials, police agencies or the fbi. or you will have county and city officials. there is nothing like that going on between the cia and the fbi, especially in an investigation this big? >> no, not in that kind of matter. the cia officials recognize that the fbi has to do its job. and in a case like this, they would ask for the fbi to come in if one of their own is receiving threats from an outside person by internet, they would want the fbi to look at it and see if there was any possibility of prosecuting. that really there was an unintended consequence of this leading to director petraeus. >> and the fbi director would
5:33 pm
have been inform? >> they have very strict proc s processes, if they uncovered criminal violations, or a breach that would have immediately been sent up the chain and could include the president. but the fact that these violations go on, and include a lot of people. and as long as no violations were revealed and no security breaches were revealed, it would be part of the protocol to not send it up until the investigation, because it could really damage somebody. because if the allegations proved to be unfounded the damage is already done if it is public that they were under investigation. so they really want to have the opportunity to maintain the integrity of the investigation, and not have it be in the public arena, highly politicalized as this one has become, even after the fact. >> and tom, i have to run, but just simply, do you think he should have resigned? >> that was a personal decision he made.
5:34 pm
he was not being forced to. he submitted the resignation, and the report was the president wanted to think about it overnight. the fact that he had not violated the law, and apparently a security breach had not been uncovered, it was really left for him at the moment, at least. it was really up to him to decide and he just decided to take the step immediately and go ahead and resign. >> tom fuentes, thank you. >> you're welcome, don. still ahead, a prominent texas attorney charged with doing business with a drug cartel. first, this. the obama administration's health care program is about to go into effect, but not all at once. certain provisions get enacted at certain dates. cnn's christine romans has a look. >> reporter: the battle over health reform is over. the supreme court has ruled and now the president has been reelected. the centerpiece of the
5:35 pm
legislation, where everyone has to have health insurance or pay a penalty, doesn't go into effect until 2014. but certain key pieces go into effect next year. first, if you're a big earner, your taxes go up. meaning an individual making $250,000 will pay $450 more a year into medicare. a family earning half a million will pay $250 more. on top of that, high income families may also be subject to a new 3.8% medicare tax on investment income. that is high-earning families. next, if you contribute to a flexible spending account, the maximum amount you can set aside is $2500. so if you're in the middle of open enrollment now, please, plan accordingly. finally, a lot is happening to get state insurance up and running. this is where you go to buy a
